Primate archaeology evolves [PDF]

Nature Ecology & Evolution, 2017
Since its inception, archaeology has traditionally focused exclusively on humans and our direct ancestors. However, recent years have seen archaeological techniques applied to material evidence left behind by non-human animals. Here, we review advances made by the most prominent field investigating past non-human tool use: primate archaeology.

The newfound relationship between extrachromosomal DNAs and excised signal circles

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Extrachromosomal DNAs (ecDNAs) contribute to the progression of many human cancers. In addition, circular DNA by‐products of V(D)J recombination, excised signal circles (ESCs), have roles in cancer progression but have largely been overlooked. In this Review, we explore the roles of ecDNAs and ESCs in cancer development, and highlight why these ...

Genetic diversity of Bordetella bronchiseptica isolates obtained from primates

Frontiers in Microbiology
Bordetella bronchiseptica is a highly contagious bacterial respiratory pathogen with a broad host range of wild and domesticated mammals that can cause a variety of clinical disease outcomes ranging from asymptomatic carriage to severe pneumonia.

Fatal Infection of a Pet Monkey with Human herpesvirus 1

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2002
Concerns have been raised about pet monkeys as a potential threat to humans. We report the opposite situation, a danger to pets that arises from humans.

Optogenetics in primates: monkey see monkey look [PDF]

, 2011
Optogenetics has emerged as a powerful tool for studying the neural basis of simple behaviors in rodents and small animals. In the primate model, however, optogenetics has had limited utility because optical methods have not been able to drive behavior ...

Cotargeting TREM2 and IL2 pathways triggers multipronged anticancer immunity

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Von Locquenghien et al. report that MiTE‐144, a triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2 (TREM2) blocking antibody fused to interleukin‐2 (IL2) variant with tumour microenvironment restricted activation, demonstrates superior anticancer efficiency in a preclinical setting.

Generation and functional characterization of tuft cells in non-human primate pancreatic ducts through organoid culture systems

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology
The pancreatic duct plays a key role in collecting pancreatic juice, which is rich in digestive enzymes. The fluid flows unidirectionally into the duodenum, where it mixes with partially digested food to further facilitate digestion.

Absorbed radiation dosimetry of the D3-specific PET radioligand [18F]FluorTriopride estimated using rodent and nonhuman primate [PDF]

, 2016
[(18)F]FluorTriopride ([(18)F]FTP) is a dopamine D(3)-receptor preferring radioligand with potential for investigation of neuropsychiatric disorders including Parkinson disease, dystonia and schizophrenia. Here we estimate human radiation dosimetry for [(

Rate variation during molecular evolution: creationism and the cytochrome c molecular clock [PDF]

, 2017
Molecular clocks based upon amino acid sequences in proteins have played a major role in the clarification of evolutionary phylogenies. Creationist criticisms of these methods sometimes rely upon data that might initially seem to be paradoxical.
